What is a Lead AV Installer?

Lead AV Installers are professionals responsible for overseeing the installation, configuration, and testing of audio-visual (AV) systems in various settings such as offices, schools, conference centers, or event venues. They manage teams of installers, ensure that projects are completed according to client specifications, and troubleshoot technical issues as they arise. In addition to hands-on installation work, Lead AV Installers coordinate with clients, provide technical guidance, and maintain high standards for safety and quality throughout each project.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Lead AV Installer?

To thrive as a Lead AV Installer, you need strong technical knowledge of audiovisual systems, wiring, and installation best practices, often supported by certifications like CTS (Certified Technology Specialist) or manufacturer-specific training. Familiarity with tools such as signal testers, cable management systems, and control software (like Crestron or AMX) is commonly required. Leadership, problem-solving, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for managing teams and ensuring client satisfaction. These skills ensure high-quality installations, efficient project execution, and strong client relationships in a technology-driven industry.

What are some common challenges faced by a Lead AV Installer during large-scale project deployments?

Lead AV Installers often encounter challenges such as coordinating between multiple trades on-site, managing time-sensitive installations, and adapting to unexpected technical issues or last-minute design changes. Effective communication with project managers, electricians, and IT teams is crucial to ensure all components are integrated smoothly. Additionally, maintaining high quality and safety standards while meeting tight deadlines requires strong leadership and organizational skills.

Why Join Us?

This is more than a job-it's a lifestyle and a community. If you're a lead technician with a strong work ethic and a passion for learning, you'll thrive here. You'll benefit from:

  • Apprenticeship Program: Each Lead Tech is paired with an apprentice, allowing you to mentor the next generation while focusing on the work you love.
  • Elite Team Environment: Work alongside top-tier engineers, designers, and programmers-some of the best in the business.
  • Global Projects & Prestige: From Colorado estates to German yachts, you'll contribute to iconic, high-end systems with an unmatched level of craftsmanship.
  • Leadership That Cares: Leadership is hands-on, engaged, and deeply committed to staff development and company culture.
  • Innovation on Display: A new state-of-the-art facility with an immersive demo showroom and dedicated training space is currently under construction-designed to wow clients and support the tech team's ongoing growth.

Position Overview

We're seeking a Tech III Lead Technician to lead onsite execution for high-end AV, lighting, and automation systems. You'll be the onsite point person responsible for installing, commissioning, and leading apprentices on complex residential technology projects. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience and thrives in environments where communication, accountability, and follow-through are just as important as technical skills.

Responsibilities

  • Lead onsite installation and commissioning of AV, automation, and lighting systems
  • Collaborate with internal teams (PMs, sales, design, and global engineering) for seamless project delivery
  • Serve as a mentor and leader to a dedicated apprentice technician
  • Interface with high-end clients and luxury builders to ensure an exceptional experience
  • Coordinate with global teams for programming, design, and advanced support
  • Understand and implement networking basics (IP addressing, reservations, static IPs)
  • Interpret and work from engineered drawings and schematics
  • Work hands-on with systems including Crestron Home, Control4, Savant, Lutron, and Vantage
  • Ensure quality, consistency, and brand-level execution across all installations

Qualifications

  • 5+ years as a lead technician, but aptitude and attitude matter more than years
  • Experience with AV rack installation, wiring, and system commissioning
  • Working knowledge of at least one major automation system (Crestron, Control4, Savant, Lutron, or Vantage)
  • Ability and willingness to travel 50% to Coeur d'alene, Idaho
  • Familiarity with basic networking concepts and willingness to learn more
  • Strong leadership, mentorship, and communication skills
  • Proactive, solutions-oriented approach-someone who picks up the phone instead of waiting for a text reply
  • Willingness to adapt and continuously learn; coachable and accountable
  • Must be comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-expectation, luxury environment
  • Valid driver's license and clean driving record required

Benefits

  • Competitive salary with overtime eligibility
  • Full suite of health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Company-provided van (commuting permitted depending on location)
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • Simple IRA with company match
  • Temporary employee housing available for relocation transition
  • Relocation assistance for the right candidate
  • Exciting opportunities for travel (including work on superyachts or projects across the U.S. and Europe)

Pay: $75,000.00 - $90,000.00 per year
